First published in 1959, this influential work explores how children acquire knowledge and skills through their experiences. Freeman argues that children are natural learners, with an innate curiosity and desire to explore their environment. He emphasizes the importance of hands-on learning and play, and stresses the need for teachers to provide guidance and support rather than rote instruction. How Children Learn is a classic of educational theory that has helped shape modern understanding of child development.
